Getting Started

RouteMesh is the RPC service we wish we you had when building in crypto. It began from our need of doing multi-chain analytics and being frustrated with the experience of:

• Managing multiple provider subscriptions
• Inconsistent pricing across providers
• Unreliable responses from the same provider
• Painful Fallback management
• Arbitrary pricing structures with expensive overage costs
• No single provider with access to all chains
• Varying latencies/geographic locations
• Bills from multiple RPC providers

As a result, we built RouteMesh to solve these problems once and for all.

Quick Start

1. Top Up Your Account

1. Go to the Billing page
2. Click on the "Buy More Credits" button and purchase as many credits as you think you need. Once the buying process is complete, the credits will be applied immediately.

Note: the credits never expire, and you pay for only what you use.

Note (2): one credit is equivalent to one dollar.

2. Sign Up and Get Your API Key

1. Visit the RouteMesh Dashboard
2. Create your account
3. Navigate to the API Keys section
4. Create your first API key
5. Choose your routing strategy (Economy or Performance)
   1. Budget (Cost-Optimized): Prioritizes cost-effective nodes while maintaining reliability
   2. Performance (Latency-Optimized): Prioritizes fastest response times for optimal user experience

3) Make Your First Request

Replace your existing RPC endpoint with RouteMesh:

# Instead of:
curl -X POST https://your-provider.com/rpc \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

# Use RouteMesh:
curl -X POST https://beta.router.0xarc.io/rpc/{chain_id}/{api_key} \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
